I have stocked up on Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15 because the 16 doesn't fit. When one had bunion and wide feet, it's necessary to stockpile the ones that fit.

I am truly hoping that Brooks is reading these reviews and taking them into consideration. It does not seem the case because the Adrenaline GTS is getting worse and worse. The Trance is the only shoe that worked for me with my plantar fasciitis issues but they discontinued that model naturally. So I try the Adrenaline and they were not as cushiony but were good enough. I have always worn an 8½ in Brooks although my foot is a 7½-8. I recently bought the 16 and my toes are not literally hitting the inside tip of the shoe and they are in no way as comfortable as the 14. The 15 were not even that comfortable as compared to the 14. Zappos is great - the maker of the shoe is the problem. I honestly do not know what tennis shoe I will wear if they do not change whatever it is they are doing wrong. I have been wearing Brooks size 8½ for nearly 10 years and all of a sudden they do not fit.

Even though I have worn have Brooks Adrenaline for years and have absolutely loved them, especially since my feet are very wide, I found these shoes extremely uncomfortable. They rubbed the top of both of my feet within a half an hour. I've never experienced that before. I would say try the Brooks glycerin.

I love the new Brooks GTS 16! The GTS 15 were way way too small in the toe area and my toes hurt. Thank you for making the toe area more like the 14's. I LOVED THE 14'S! BRING THEM BACK!

I've been a Brooks wearer for years, per recommendation from a podiatrist. However, I haven't bought a pair of Brooks since the GTS 13, and I was disappointed. They feel apart quickly. I tried the GTS 16 and after multiple returns trying different sizes, I'm done. The toe box is way too cramped and the colors for us narrow folks is always just blue. I'm over it and moving to another shoe.

Great Shoe. The support for a moderate overpronator is excellent. I ended up going with the Asics GEL-Sonoma 2 as it was almost half the price.

Too big! I've run on the GTS size 9 for a few years now and the new model is noticeably longer than my old ones,and too big to run in. I don't know whether this was a mistake with this particular pair, or a change for the whole model or line, but it's frustrating!

I adore theses shoes as do my knees...... They are light weight and feel very supportive! Wish I could have them as dress up shoes as well!! And they're fairly attractive as running shoes go! Feel like I could walk across country in them!

LOVE LOVE the shoe. This year's model is shorter and narrower so order 1/2 size up. My wide feet were comfortable in an 8 M with the prior year model but this time I need an 8.5 W.

I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for many, many years. Each year, this shoe is improved, with changes in materials, construction, and style. But, despite the annual changes, I've found that the fit remains really wonderful for my slightly wide foot (although I am a B width in this shoe) and slightly high instep. I wear a size 9 in most shoes, but always wear a size 10 in Brooks shoes. So, this shoe is "true to size" for Brooks sizing, which is a whole size larger than most other shoes. I like this shoe in black because it makes my feet look smaller and I wear a lot of black clothes, so black shoes are a good choice for me.

I love this shoe. I tried about 8 different brands and styles of shoe before finding the perfect one, this one. I wear an 11 Narrow and need motion control and support in a shoe. This ran true to size and width and felt very good on. It is also a cute shoe. Something about the design actually makes it look shorter, always a good thing when one wears a large size.

I wear a size 12N, which is difficult to find, and I have a custom orthotic too. These shoes fit me very well and easily accommodate my orthotic. I highly recommend Brooks shoes.

This version has become narrower in the toe, so it is less suitable than earlier versions for those of us with square toes! Pretty firm insole...more for folks with lower arches.

Best sneaker I have ever owned. So comfortable, perfect support. Feet feel comfy at the gym. Maybe not the best sneaker for kick boxing, but it's so comfortable I don't care. After wearing these, I will never wear anything but Brooks to the gym.
